"If you love MMOs, you'll want to check out Guild Wars 2. If you hate MMOs, you'll really want to check out Guild Wars 2."

4 quick facts about GW2
▪ persistent, open world MMORPG
▪ dynamic events instead of quests, no grind
▪ no monthly fee!!!1! (buy to play)
▪ awesome dynamic combat, no 'holy trinity'

main features
▪ 5 races and 8 professions (40 possible combos)
▪ branching personal storyline
▪ hot-join and competitive PvP, separate from PvE
▪ World versus World versus World (massive) PvP
▪ underwater combat (that's not half-assed, for once...)
▪ 8 extremely difficult dungeons

possible discussion topics
▪ preferred race or profession
▪ thoughts on innovations (e.g. dynamic events, no trinity)
▪ in-game impressions, possibly sharing IGN?

informative links
▪ official site
▪ official wiki
▪ TotalBiscuit's GW2 coverage

updates
▪ 10/2 game's been out over a month now~ sold 2 million copies too
▪ 7/1 RELEASE DATE: August 28th
▪ 3/15 Blog Update: Building Community
▪ 3/13 Pre-Purchase Announcement

end note: I don't usually browse the gaming forums, so I hope I'm doing it right P=

The big thing I'm happy for in this game is that it is casual done right. You don't have to organize a guild of 50 other nerds to experience all the best encounters, constantly relying on everyone to show up or face canceling an encounter. Dragons just pop up and you go deal with them with whoever is in the area.

That's a great way to put it XD
I'm glad they're making things easy for casual players lol. I would certainly fall under that category, despite how obsessed with it I am.

and its awesome! "Raid encounters aren't here to impress you, you're here to impress the raid encounter b***h!" sums it up nicely xD
Also, some closed beta videos showed hidden platforming areas, do want!

They haven't sent out official rejects or invites apparently D: I JUST CAN'T READ sobb.

I assumed that thank you letter I got was like the ones for grad school ;w;. We received overwhelming interest, but unfortunately we can only accept so many.

I honestly can't decide between;

Charr Engineer
Norn Guardian

Regardless, they are both getting rolled day one.

EDIT;

The rest of my combinations (Because I plan on rolling one of every class);
Human Thief
Sylvari Ranger
Human Mesmer
Asura Necromancer
Asura Elementalist
Charr/Norn Warrior
